Other MSI actions
Section titled “Other MSI actions”If you want to run other actions of Windows Installer such as administrative installation option, advertising a product… then you must use the OtherAction field to specify the action you want to run.
For instance, you would like to invoke the MSI installer with the /A option. If you were to run from a command prompt in Windows, you would type: msiexec /A MyInstall.msi
To get the same behavior in Paquet Builder, enter /A in the OtherAction field and the full path to the MSI package in PackagePath.
